A BLOODY GREAT MUSICAL
In a gritty flower shop on Skid Row, Seymour Krelborn’s hopeless life is transformed when he discovers a strange and interesting – and sickly and needy – plant, and nurtures it back to health. As the mysterious plant begins to thrive, so does Seymour. Its surprising growth creates a popular frenzy and brings swarms of new customers to the shop until it finally wins Seymour all he has ever dreamed of: fame, fortune, and the love of his cherished Audrey. Inspired by a B-Movie of the same name, creators Howard Ashman and Alan Menken combined sixties sci-fi horror tropes, with a Faustian tale of hunger and ambition, and an irresistible rock score to create this darkly funny musical comedy hit.
“Boy meets girl, boy meets plant, plant eats girl’s boyfriend.”
